Big Old Tree Stump...Eucalyptus Tree Tasmaniaby cradlemountain
This is an endangered species. Keep it in the ground as it holds carbon and is more global friendly than dinging the stump out. This tree stump had lived out a full life but the relatives of this tree around the local area are disappearing. The locals told me it was approximately 600/800years old and may be the second tallest tree in the world. This stump is, 22 armful around, hollow in the middle and over 1 meter high. It is the only old tree left that my grandson can see to check out the sizes they would one day become if left to grow in a natural state. When I was his age they were in abundance if the natural forests in Australia everywhere.
This is a wonderful image, and we would LOVE it if yu would add it to Earth Keepers
Thank you Maureen, I want to fill this stump with earth, like a large pot plant and seed it with Tasmanian rain-forest trees and take a time clip of the seedlings coming through. Time will show the small trees to eventually die from lack of nutrient and climate change, lack of space to expand. This symbolism of the trees dieing, cradled within the trunk, will sadly show both the old and the ancient so vulnerable to our insensible need for news! News today, forgotten tomorrow! mt intention is an art statement about the loss of our Gondwanaland rain-forest here in Tasmania, which started only 15 years ago. Due to forest industries clear-felling the alpine and sub-alpine areas of our beautiful native forests and replacing them with trees grown for the Japanese news-paper industries.

What a sad loss for all of us everywhere. What a magnificent sight this must have been at one time – it still inspires awe and reverence for what few of these beautiful trees are left.
